Is there anyone who has had success with RLL formatting a miniscribe 6085
drive?  I just bought a RLL card for mine, and while it seems to work OK,
I though I'd get spinrite to have a look at it.  It is failing an
alarming number of the pattern tests.  Is this a common problem ?

I would appreciate people's views on this subject.

Thanks
